3x *Ulaire Otsea, Ringwraith In Twilight(3U86) 
4x Goblin Runner(1U178) 
4x Morgul Skulker(1U258) 


The goal of the shadow is to add 5 burdens and kill everyone with Enquea. However it can corrupt the ring-bearer as well. I use Goblin Runner because everybody uses choke in FOTR Block and I need twilight to play It Wants to be Found. I try to have at least 2 Must Do Without Hope at site 5 for the Balrog. This is also why I use Elrond and Ottar... to draw my corruption cards quickly and discard the useless Must do without hope after site 5. I think my fellowship may bit a bit weak against Uruk so I may have to swap one Elrond for one Betrayal of Isengard.

I allways liked both cards: must do without hope, and it wants to be found. To combine them (especially in a fellowship deck --> bridge) is brilliant I think. Simple but great.  :gp:
The It wants to be found combo only takes up 5 cards in any burden deck and the balrog was probably allready there and playable from your drawdeck...super.
as for the machienegun enquea lom I usually pack 2 not easily destroyed a real killer at site 8 and 9 (more twilight) in this case i`d drop 2 runners for it

I agree very much with the Not Easily Destroyed that combo always worked well for me.

Does Sleep Caradhras discard your own conditions as well?

Master of Healing... :P

I figured master of healing would be the way to go, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.  You know like a companion the healed a site one ally every turn or something.

I realized this shadow is extremely easy to build as Ulaire Nelya is the only rare card and it could even be replaced by another twilight nazgul if you are too poor.

Do you find that you don't have your do without hope cards by site 5?  aren't you worried about clogging your hand?

At 30/30 I usually have 2 by site 5. Ottar is there to discard the others.

 No blade tip for Otsea?

To be honest, my shadow works fine without it. 5 burdens is all I need to stop my opponent and win with my fellowship.
